Fifteen of 22 graves in part of a Lausanne cemetery devoted to the Muslim faith were vandalized last week, with anti-Muslim graffiti sprayed on the ground, police said.

Flowers and plants on the graves were removed and wooden grave markers pulled out at the Bois-de-Vaux cemetery, Lausanne police confirmed in a statement, saying they were alerted to the damage on Saturday.

A film published by news agency ATS showed graffiti spray-painted on the ground stating ‘Muslims out of Switzerland’ and ‘No to communitarian cemeteries’.
